The life-threatening Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability and Facial Anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder. Twenty percent of patients cannot be explained by mutations in the known ICF genes DNA methyltransferase 3B or zinc-finger and BTB domain containing 24. Here we report mutations in the cell division cycle associated 7 and the helicase, lymphoid-specific genes in 10 unexplained ICF cases. Our data highlight the genetic heterogeneity of ICF syndrome; however, they provide evidence that all genes act in common or converging pathways leading to the ICF phenotype. Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome is a life threatening autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in DNMT3B and ZBTB24. Here Thijssen et al. identify mutations in CDCA7 and HELLS in previously unexplained cases.
